Beginners Luck

So my wife loves to fish but she grew up fishing in creek and catching lots of fish but no size. So we decided we would take her up to the lake and let her enjoy catching some fish with some size. We were hoping she would catch one that was at least 3-4 pounds to let her feel the fight of a larger sized fish. Little did I know that she would skunk us all and show us how to catch fish. She hooked into and reeled in this bad boy weighing in at a whopping 13 1/2 pounds. She showed us how it was done.

It works out great because my dad is a fish taxidermist and does amazing work so we will for sure get this hog hung up on the wall.

This was back in the fall in eastern Idaho. It's a hybrid. I'd love to catch some laketrout someday.
